Cancellation Notice!


We're Sorry!


The Crafty Neighbor National Scrapbook Day Event has been cancelled!



This event has been cancelled due to a lack of interest.  But don't worry, we'll have another crop sometime in the near future.  In the mean time, if you are looking for something to do or somewhere to crop for NSD (or any time), please check out the National Scrapbook Day events at one of the many local stores around DFW.  If you need help finding a store near you, please check out this article on our blog at:



Some of the Crafty Neighbors will be at the Scrappin' Goodtime NSD retreat in Corsicana.  They still have a few spots left for day croppers ($25) and one bedroom in the retreat.  Visit:

New Classes Added to Our Calendar!

It's time once again for a Beginner Scrapbooking class!  This workshop is open to anyone who has an interest in scrapbooking, genealogy, or preserving memorabilia.  We will cover archival preservation of memorabilia, photos, and documents, creative presentation techniques, tools and supplies, as well as beginning scrapbooking techniques.  In this class, you will complete one 2-page layout in either a "boy" or "girl" theme plus a simple handmade card. 

Choose one of two dates available!

Thursday, May 12 from 2:00 - 4:00 PM, or Tuesday, May 24  from 7:00 - 9:00 pm at the Crafty Neighbor Studios (Murray House) in Carrollton.

Workshop cost:  $15.00 (includes all paper and materials)  This is a GREAT bargain...you get a beginner class PLUS one 2-page layout and a card.  A typical layout class at a local scrapbook store will cost $20-25!

We will provide:  Light refreshments, paper, tools and supplies, experts and professional scrapbookers to answer all your questions and guide you through the scrapbooking process.

You will need to bring:  scissors, your favorite adhesive (optional), and any photos* you wish to add to your layouts (optional).

Experienced scrapbookers are welcome!  Come learn, share your knowledge, or just to make the layouts!

Spread the word!  Don't need the class but have a friend who might be interested?  Please pass it on!  Everyone is welcome.

A couple of my cans:



These are some magnets I made for a customer for her magnetic calendar.  I thought they turned out pretty cute!  Creating something that conveys a message in such a small space can be a real challenge!
